Playoffs start today
twentyfive
Living well and enjoying my retirement
Who’s watching and who do you like ?
First game Colts at the Texans, I think this is a tough call if forced I’d say the Colts
Second dame Seattle at Dallas the consensus is going to be Dallas but I think Seattle is dangerously streaky I’ll pick the Seahawks
Tomorrow’s games
LA Chargers at the Ravens I think this will be the boring game and I’m taking the Chargers and the points
Eagles at the Bears this one could be the game of the year or a dud, we’ll see, but my money is on Philly finding a way to stay alive but the same could be said for Chicago, I just think The Eagles are a bit better.
Good luck

Its tough to pick these games, but I'll take Seattle, Chicago, and the Chargers. The only one I'm somewhat sure of is Chicago, their defense is too real. Dallas, even though they're at home just always finds ways to lose in the playoffs with Garrett as head coach. And the Chargers look pretty solid, as long as they can stop that running QB of Baltimore. I swear that stuff always catches defenses by surprise at first. Kaepernick had so much success in his first season. Then came the next season and defenses had him figured out.
Fuck, if i was a betting man I'd be 0-2. I am 100% positive the bears and chargers will win though.
Looking forward to tomorrow!
What's your guys picks for Superbowl matchup? I honestly have no fucking clue. But I'll guess Saints vs KC. I'm rooting for Andrew Luck to take out the Chiefs next week TBH. And hoping the Patriots don't make it.
Lucky for them Seattle has a pretty-anemic offense although Seattle did have a few big plays but not enough consistent good offense.
Dallas' defense has put them where they are. that new defensive coach has the defense playing its best in the.last 20 years - now.they need.a new.offensive coordinator bc their office is.too inconsistent (and.they may lose their new defensive coach as he's a candidate for some of the head-coaching vacancies)
With the Dallas-Seattle spread at 2.6, a lot of money was won and lost on that Seattle 2 point conversion
I won both my bets, straight up, yesterday. Today, I'm with, well to be honest, I've forgotten. Have to check later.
What a gruesome injury to a UM alumni! I've broken both ankles (sky diving and motorcycle), in my lifetime, but nothing like that! I wish him well!
Today I’m picking Chargers and Da Bears
Gee Rick not sure what game you watched, but Dallas winning by 2 point, by virtue of a 2 point conversion doesn’t really qualify as shutting Seattle down, it just doesn’t!
Baltimore's offense is GAHbage!!
Meanwhile, the Eagles offense already looks pretty good against the Bears defense. It's all about how Trubisky performs I guess.
oh shit they missed Philly takes it
Twemtyfive how much did you win?
I'll go Rams, Saints, Colts, Chiefs.
Rams
Saints
Colts Upset KC
Saturday
First one is Indianapolis Colts at Kansas City Chiefs, I think Luck's luck is going to run out, Mahomes is going to be too much for the Colts, second
Next Dallas Cowboys at the L.A. Rams I don't think this game will be a snoozer but ain't no way Cowboy's are going to get past this team, L.A. is going to overwhelm them in the end
Sunday
This game is highly anticipated but this one might be the overhyped game this year, New England Patriots at home against The L.A.Chargers, Brady's getting old and his numbers show it, Gronk is all partied out I think the Chargers expose the Patriots and end their season
Last up but it should be a great offensive game will be Philly's own Eagles at The N.O. Saints, should be plenty of scoring, but I think Brees cancels out the Foles effect
There you guys have em my picks Chiefs -5.5, Rams -7, Chargers +4, NOLA -7
I was 3 of 4, last week 4 for 4 with the spread on my bets anybody disagree with my picks or reasoning ?
If you take the crude measurement one can say Indy is ranked 9th in combined offense/defense while KC is combo-ranked 16th - def not a hard-metric but seems the Colts are well-balanced:
http://www.espn.com/nfl/statistics/team/…
The Chargers have the overall 9th defense while NE is 21st - based on their defenses I'm gonna go w/ the Chargers.
People picking the Saints with Drew Brees as the QB really hits me. He could be in Miami and possibly have saban as his head coach. Stupid doctors!
Who you got, twentyfive?
Chiefs
Rams
Chargers
Saints
Colts
Rams
Chargers
Saints
So far it's looking like I'm dead wrong about all of that lol. Not like I haven't been wrong before haha. Time for a beer!
Cowboys are the most valuable franchise in American sports, yet they've had a mediocre coach for years - the most valuable franchise you'd think would have the best coach.
I think they're going to lose today, and I think as great as Brady is, time is catching up to him.
Saints vs Chiefs in the Superbowl---Chargers are the random element.
I missed the post yesterday ( saw we had one troll over here tracking up the board with their nonsense and shut the board down without posting or reading further)
So far in my poll for the playoffs I've missed one game. The Eagles beat the Bears.
I had Anderson as one of my backs early on in the FF but the Panthers never allowed him to touch the ball......the last couple of games showed what he is capable of doing.
Much like I've been waiting for LeBron to finally show signs of slowing down. But so far, none.
Chargers were 12-4 in the reg season - and most people can argue the Chargers overall have more talent, yet the superbly prepared Patriots smacked the Chargers.
The Chargers have been a second half team most of the year and a road team. I had the Pats but I thought it would be very, very close. ( and it wasn't)
It only locks down what I had said in my previous comment. ( to me at least.) Chiefs vs Saints. I don't see the Pats going into KC and winning.
Best game of the weekend.
At the beginning of the season the Browns, with the worst coach in NFL history, played @ the Saints, narrowly lost and would have beat them if their kicker hadn't missed 2 extra points and 2 field goals.
The point is that even though I'd like to see the Saints in the SuperBowl they are far from infallible and the adage "any given Sunday" always applies.
;-)
I have until Friday to turn in my picks this week but Chiefs and Saints are probably the direction I am headed
As for the Rams against the Saints that one feels wrong to bet against Drew Brees despite the weakness they showed last week against The Eagles
Again I’ll pick the Saints and give the 2 points.
Old vs the new today. Brady vs Mahomes, Brees vs Goff. Are you going with the Hall of Famers or the Read-Option kids
?
It's NE vs. KC and No vs. LA
I have nothing against cliches.

A team that likes to play football
This Is a Must Win
That's not a cliche
Oops
Could have survived the Chiefs losing-everyone ahead of me had them as well.
How is UCF looking on the Super Bowl roster
With Gordon out they have no wide outs. ( great for me in FF with White and Edelman-which is why I took them prior to then getting Gordon and then him not making the end of the season) They don't have a dominating defense and their safeties are weak. I kept thinking Kelce was going to tear them up.....didn't happen and Edelman and Gronk just kept moving them down the field whenever they needed yards.
The Saints hadn't given up 100 yards to any back. The Rams all year fire off the running game and then when they draw teams in go pass happy.
I hate to back the Patriots but the Rams don't belong in the game as far as I am concerned. There was more than one bad call---a few helmet to helmets not called but the last one was the killer.
Jake Scott should not of been the MVP. Manny was! BTW, my SO loved Jake Scott. Likely why that is or son's moniker. :)
